Igniting our imaginations with spectacular forces and overwhelming scales, space exploration constantly reshapes how we understand ourselves and our place in the universe. 8 Minutes, in collaboration with choreographer Alexander Whitley and composer Daniel Wohl, is a striking, hour-long environment of dance, music and film, set out to illuminate our relationship with the star that gives us life.
The piece was inspired by solar science research carried on by scientists from STFC RAL Space.
